    Pretty cool, I dont require one though, as my bike isnt a drag bike, so it will mainly see 1/8th mile.

    So.....Do any of you biker types have a chain breaker/riveting tool I can borrow?

    Also, AMA Superbike races at road america next weekend! Anyone else going?

    One more thing. Nail in rear tire whatya think. plug ok, patch it from inside, new tire, bubble gum repair etc.

    I just purchased one from denniskirk to do a rivet type on a ZX7R. Works great. I have it at work, and as long as I get it back you can borrows it. Stop by Tonka if you're around anytime.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    i dont have a problem with the bike, just dont know if i'd get the same exact bike much less the same exact bike and same exact color as my coworker..

    btw. the bike could never go through turns, i'm faster than dream on a 08 r6 that is meant to hit turns. what the problem is? :biggrin: so i ride a prehistoric 954, whats wrong with being different ;-)

    I fell in love with the bike last year, but didn't have the funds. As for the color, the 08's only come in white.

    Also, Tom should buy my old bike.

    I like the fact that they have chains and not retarded belts, wayyyyyyyy too long for me though, I bet they are a handfull in the turns, between zero ground clearance that obsurd rake and the length, they are probably best suited to looking pretty.

    As low as they are, they have better radius then you would think.... I was waaaay surprised. They are super light for how low they sit. I tipped one damn near too scary for rider before it would scrape peg.
